Polylog randomized wait-free consensus

View publication

Abstract

I present the first randomized wait-free implementation of consensus from multiple writer multiple reader register in which each process takes polylog (O(log2n)) expected steps. To achieve this result, I assume a non-standard type of adversary (from [Abr88]). I argue that this type of adversary (which is more powerful than the oblivious adversary, but weaker than the strong adversary) is powerful enough to model practical systems.
